Week8: im gonna die

Weekly Task:
Work through the Planning section, using Think and Create.

- Create an Aims, Objectives and Measures of Success Table for T & C. Analyse the potential impact of T & C short, medium and long-term.

- Identify major stakeholders, partners, participants for T & C, and outline what they require and can offer.


Aims Objective and Measures of success.

Aims
- Why is the project taking place, what purpose does said event provide,
- Motivation and intentions?

Objective
- specific things that are needed or wanted to be achieved, this could be seen as stepping stones to complete the overall aim of the project, within objective, they should be, smart, realistic, specific and achievable within the available time frame.

Measures of success
- how you know that an objective is achieved, other ways of calling this are ass follows; outcomes, success criteria
- (use last year as example)


REPORT: INITIAL PLANNING
This project of the Think and Create's purpose this year, is to showcase the film, animation, gaming and art students work at S.I.T. We are looking to pull this event of to get not only good grades for this paper, but to help give exposure to the participants through an exciting and inviting event, This will also provide the second years with the experience and knowledge of how to run and set up a complex event, which, in the future will help us out with further projects as we can look back at this experience to see what went right and what went wrong.

I want this event to go off better then it has in the previous year, This event will need to go off seemingly, good planning and good communication, meaning clear instructions and intentions, easy for other people outside of the planning committee to understand. With this it will make it more likely for people to want to participate.
The event should be easy to participate and join in on, as I have noted communication needs to be clear, not only this but making sure everyone is doing their share of work and no one person is taking too much of a load while others slack off.

The measure of success for this event will primarily and directly be the grades for use, but aside from grade a big achievement shall be every objective mark being hit on the nose, people getting tasks done on time, people turning up to each meeting they are required at.
A mark of the event being a success will be the feedback we get from the participants and the people attending the event, we want people to enjoy the event so good feedback will be clear that we have achieved out goal of making the event awesome. Prizes that have been won in the event will not only draw people in it will help get community involved with possibly even internships, which will show that people have been interested and have loved the event.

Week8: Lord and Savior of Music

Once again my lord and savior Ross Bugden has helped by having made amazing copy write free music (and royalty free)


I found great music for the exchange, I haven't been working on it much recently,
However I think I need to put more effort in So, Im replaceing for now the music within the premiere file, and it fits pretty well

Week>: 8

The timing on the storyboard has been sorted out, just needs review,
then it is straight onto the animatic.

adding to this I have finished the lexicon port, 

Week7: Update

OK so I screwed up on the previous Model and couldn't figure out how to fix it, so I ended up just re-starting.

the one on the left is the current new model and the left is it in 3 mode

the 3 mode looks more organic at the moment as I haven't added all the topology though it looks pretty interesting

Japan Batbam

Samurai Batman

First look, its pretty inseresting as its something that hasn't really been done before
a combination and anime and a western cartoon merged into one.
I do like that Batman was taken from gotham or his home universe into a fuel Era Japan.

yay harly is in it,
I like her
Batman acting like a bat hanging under a bridge is amazing
ok its time travel,
Poison Ivy is in  it too yay

of course there is a bloody prophecy XD



AFter:

HOLY SHIT THAT WAS THE BEST, the animation and diversity of the animation was fantastic, the plot was incredible, and it had plenty of comedy and references in it to make me laugh it was so entertaining.
there are so many twists that I loved within the film such as the monkeys forming together

The art style had a mix and 3d Animation, anime like animation, it even pays tribute to the original source of Japanese art, even throughout the film in things such as the background you can tell they pay great attention to detail. in some scenes you can make out distinct patterns in the sky

the 2D and 3D was blended perfectly and very lively, complementing the story.

Audio Sweet

So the sweet was interesting, didn't really understand anything, Im low on brain power.

The Exchange (things I need for the assignment)

- Music

- Folly

-  ADR Replacement

uuggghhhh boots

Ok so what we did yay...

What did Our Team Achieve:
The design team worked together to get all the designs for things
such as posters and logos for the event. This went off well as for
the event  we had all finished products

What Problems and setbacks:
Printing and Timing, During this project we had a very limited
time to design and print the nesserory things for this assignment
however we managed to work around this and pull it off in the end.

If we did this again what would we do:
Make sure we had more time to do everything we need, and
 making sure we know all the assets we need before nearing
 the end of our project.

Evaluation as a group:
Everyone did great, each person contributed a decent amount of work,
the work was split up between the members to make the process go much
faster then relying on one person.

I'm not great with loads of writing so I am compensating by making it look pretty.

NO MORE SLUMP :D

OKIE DOKIE SO


I was in a slump and that was NOOT heloing with my projects I felt like nothing.
BUUTTT
|

I got some paper and pen and wrote out what I needed to do, and what I got

What I need to do is experiments and I had no idea what I was doing, I needed to plot it Out.

I have put together 3 experiments to do in the form of mini story boards, they will not be long.

Now I know what ima gonna do :D, feeling a bit more motivated so hopefully this gets me out of my slump.

Looking into StarStable

Star Stable is a video game company based in Sweden, While it is in sweden they do have bases out of said country, despite there being no base in New Zealand, I still think it would be possible to work for them, it could not only be a great job but encourage me to travel the world a bit more, for the job, well, moving contrary that is.

For this company I could work in various departments, either, Animation, modeling or Concept art.

Script One:

EXT. Morning


Ace folds out a map tracing his finger along the sheet of paper searching for something.
From behind Ezaru is stalking up to him, up to standing behind him looking menicing.
Ace unaware is still focused on what he is searching for on the map.

Ezaru

SOooo you found where that old town is or no

Ace shreaks as he hears her voice out of nowhere, Ezaru now in a playful position. Laughing at the scare.

Ace

Ezaru.....

Ace is slighting smiling while watching the laughing dragon before ruffling up her head.

Im not too sure on other options yet, I think once I have a main script down I can create a list of techniques I can play around with and twist the script with
It will probably change

Techniques:
Camera-
Establing shot
Pan down

Editing:
Cut away, (from when the guard grabs rwby, to him flying across the screen)
(this could cause suspense or comedy, depending on how I use it.)


Other:

Placement of objects to help show who the characters are.

In the Rwby show, in season one, there isn't much in terms of lighting

Week:6:

Okay, so I have finished of the VA effect shot list for the proposal, Fabri is putting all the stuff into a PDF so I have put it in temp for her>
All I need to do now is a coversheet

Week6: Animator, they weird

Suzan Pit: American Animator

Her work to me, seems like a drug induced fever dream, it has no plot and is a vague collection of colour characters and movement.
To me it seems like something that could appear in a point and click type of game, a horror based one, while her animations are very colourful, I feels as if they fall into the uncanny Vally, almost disturbing yet far from it
It has a very Monty Python esk type of animation

Its like Salad Fingers and Sally Face had a kid, thats it, thats what her work is like/



Marjane Satrap: Novelist, cartoonist, illustrater, film director....

- Persepolis

its interesting, not something I would see again, the animation was simple and funny.

Week6: eh..

I can't concentrate at all but here we go

4 Stages of Audio:

Connecting

Compiling

-

Mastering

Reverb - like the ambiance of a scene or where a sound is coming from, the bouncing of sound

Compression - changing aspects of the waveform. (Can make it broadcast safe)

Pitch shifting.

rematch time

Notes

Gain - Sound Volume.

louder mix for youtube

Density of Volume?

Mastering reverb

Ctrl-Shift-N (new track Window)
Stero (master track)

Week6: Progress

Week6?idk)

Character Bio.

Val:

V.A.L Virtual assistant Lexicon, Val is a personal assistant to its owner helping around the house, tending to need and to provide companionship.
Val, is sweet and kind, always ready for their owner to get home, a curious AI too she goes above in beyond to make her owner happy. Val, lives off of making others happy, and is quite the extrovert.

This Particular Copy of V.A.L Has been long abandoned in the post-apocalyptic future.

Week 5: CV

CV Progress, Still feel like it need more writing, not to sure if the bullet point list thing is ok but but ehh

Week5: Concepts

Okay Just blotting a few ruff concepts down so I can narrow down what I want to do for my project

Techniques I want to use from my Chosen Scene:

- Establishing scene of the set then panning down to introduce character 1.

- over the shoulder of character 2 walking up to character one, the latter being unaware.

- Character(s) crossing the shot without the camera moving




Option 1:

Ace is looking through a map for something, when Ezaru sneaks up on him to scare Ace,
She succeeds,
(from audience point of view it shall seem as a dragon stalking a human, however after the scare they are shown to be friends, after the jump scare the interactions are friendly and playful.



Option 2:
Ace is casually walking behind Ezaru when she mistakes him for something else, thwaping him across the area with her tail, Before realizing it was her friend.

Week5: Draw

Timed Drawings of Eupo

Week5?: MAGIC ALIEN BOI

Video's are acting up right now, so I shall SPAM SCREENSHOT

BEHOLD

Technolodgy

Drone Movie (movie shot with only drones)
Honestly it (composition wise) didn't feel any
different from a film shot with non-drone cameras. The story was pretty sweet, though not really my cuppa tea


The use of the drones were quite creative, and creating one that can be plucked from flight and continues to be used handheld.



AI made film:
Apparently we watched this last year, but I don't remember it that much.
ok this is not the same one
ITS SO MUCH WEIRDER
Dawn King

I didn't like it, it was so boring
